Chapter 15: Warmth
I nodded hurriedly: "Yes! My second tiger brother and I both saw someone jumping! β
Long Jing was stunned for a moment, and let out a puff-hahaha laugh.
I was shocked and angry: "What kind of attitude do you have? Someone was lured by a youkai to jump into a well! β
Long Jing seemed to hold back a smile: "Okay, let's talk about it!" Who jumped off? β
I was stunned, there was no trace of the sister I saw, and Ah Yue, who my cousin saw, was obviously staying at home in a dignified manner.
"But," I said blankly, "Brother Erhu and I really saw it~"
Long Jing triumphantly ripped off a leg of mutton and said while munching, "Oh? Do you have any proof? β
I lowered my head: "There is no evidence, but~" I raised my head: "I really saw it!" β
"Hahahaha..." Long Jing spewed out a mouthful of mutton: "If I don't believe it, what will you do?" β
I was in a hurry, what to do, I never thought that Longjing would not believe me.
Long Jing seemed to have seen something funny, bit his lower lip and couldn't laugh out loud, and then said with a straight face: "Have you ever heard of mirage?" β
I was stunned: "Kidney? You mean kidneys? There are sheep to eat, but you still want to eat kidneys? When is it time that you are still thinking about eating kidneys? In addition to asking for offerings, can you take the initiative to benefit the world? β
Long Jing frowned, threw down the leg of mutton with his left hand to block his ears, and waved his right hand to signal me to calm down: "I mean the mirage of the mirage!" You've always heard of mirages, right? β
"A mirage? Do you mean that deceptive phantom? "Although I haven't read a book for a few years, some commonly used idioms have been taught by Mr. Hao.
"Yes, yes!" Longjing had an expression that you can understand: "This mirage is my relative, it's the New Year, it comes to visit relatives and friends, comes to see me, and it likes water, so I taught it to live in the bluestone well for the time being." β
"Huh? This monster is your relative? "I was taken aback.
"What monsters are not monsters, it's so ugly." Long Jing waved his hand like a fly: "Mirage can be regarded as a member of our noble dragon clan. β
I still didn't understand, and said angrily: "Since it is one of the dragon gods, why does it harm people's lives?" β
Long Jing said impatiently: "So just now I wanted to ask you, who jumped into the well?" If Qingshijing is really dead, why do those sisters still fetch water every day? Can't they see the body? β
I had no choice but to stop talking, and hurriedly asked, "Then what happened to the person who jumped into the well that Brother Erhu and I saw?" β
"It's all said that a mirage will create a phantom" Long Jing continued to gnaw on the leg of mutton, and sprinkled it with chili powder from somewhere: "Think about it, when you and your second tiger brother looked at the well, were you thinking about someone?" β
"This," I thought about it carefully: "Brother Erhu is thinking about Sister Ah Yue, what am I thinking?" Ah, didn't you see the sisters in gorgeous clothes, and there are still their figures in your mind, right? β
Long Jing smiled: "You are worthy of being my messenger, and your brain is not too stupid." β
"So, why haven't anyone else seen it?" I remembered Mr. Mo's suspicion of me, and I couldn't help but get angry, hum, and wronged me for playing a prank!
"People are smarter than you, you can't see corpses, who will make jokes?" Long Jing sneered.
So when I saw Qiu'er just now, it was just a phantom that I saw when I wanted to find her?
How do you tell Brother Erhu now? "All you see are hallucinations, boy!" Will he believe it?
Long Jing looked at me with a dejected look and comforted me: "Don't be ashamed of your stupidity, you can call it naΓ―ve."
I puffed up and said, "I'm anxious about this matter and I've become an ant on a hot pot!" So far, I was deceived! It's really fun to tease Umeina, right? β
Long Jing said: "It's not that I came to tease you like this, you don't know yet, there is a monster now, and he likes to eat people the most."
"Suspicion?"
"That's right! Where there are many women, there are many rights and wrongs, and many times, there are many suspicions that have sprung up. β
"Is there really such a monster?" I asked suspiciously.
"Yes! So I asked Mirage to come over and help me, and lure out this monster, and then there will be a good show to watch, ho ho hehe. Long Jing said proudly.
It's really rare for this Longjing to be so active in catching monsters! I was suspicious that I wouldn't be in trouble again, would I? I shook my head, thinking to myself that for sure.
Looking out the window, I don't know when the goose feathers and heavy snow will fall, Long Jing muttered: "The clouds cover the moon on the fifteenth day of August, and the snow lights up on the fifteenth day of the first month, will there be anything unusual this year?"
I thought to myself, your very existence is a strange thing.
The Smoke and Rain Pavilion turned into a world covered in silver, the thick snow drowned everything, and the little girl in red shuttled here, in the dark, as if she was guiding something, who was she?
I looked at Long Jing's beautiful side face and thought to myself, perhaps, she is another person's messenger!
Out of the first month, the weather gradually warms, the time of sunrise gradually becomes longer, and the clouds are no longer low and black, but become thick cotton wool, and the sky is blue and shiny. The wind gently blows the budding willows, and the feeling of going out for a walk is no longer cold and biting, but warm and warm.
As soon as the spring breeze blows, people's favorite hot soup becomes a cold cut, the most popular snack is the braised pig's ears, cut into red and white filaments with a quick knife, mixed with garlic slices, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, bite into the mouth first is the smooth and strong meat skin, then the crispy cartilage inside, the mouth is suddenly filled with a halo fragrance, the men are accompanied by warm Huadiao wine, all only praise a sentence and ask for nothing else.
I saw the deli shop crowded, and I also wanted to satisfy my cravings, so I took out my purse and lined up at the back of the crowd, looking at it with my head cocked.
Suddenly, someone behind me seemed to call me: "Miss Mei!"
I looked back, wasn't it Li Qitang, I saw that he was wearing a sky blue satin robe, a golden eight-treasure belt, and the appearance of a handsome son. I haven't seen it for more than a month, and it seems to be slightly higher.
I hurriedly greeted: "Li Gongzi, wait for the plum vegetables, I bought pig ears, let's eat together!"
Li Qitang hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
I bought the pig ears wrapped in dried lotus leaves, and I happily greeted Li Qitang: "Let's go, I'll take my son to eat delicious food!"
Li Qitang blushed and nodded, just like a girl.
There is a small white stone pavilion behind the Dragon God Temple, I asked Li Qitang to sit down, peeled off the lotus leaves with his hands, and the smell of sesame oil came out with the pig's ears, I pushed half of it to Li Qitang, and handed over the bamboo sticks: "Childe taste!" This is the most famous pig ear on Ziyuchai Street. β
Li Qitang looked at the bamboo skewer and then at the pig's ears, as if he had made up his mind, inserted one into his mouth and chewed it.
I hurriedly asked, "How's it going?" Delicious, right?"
Li Qitang smiled and nodded: "It's really delicious."
I also started eating, and asked, "Dare to ask Childe if he has eaten before?"
Li Qitang shook his head: "No, cultivators have always had a light diet."
"Huh?" I hurriedly asked, "Then does Gongzi Li eat this to hinder his cultivation?"
Li Qitang showed a rare naughty expression: "It's not a big deal to do it occasionally."
It's also pitiful to think about it, although it is a big family, it is estimated that they can only eat some pure cabbage and tofu.
While I was having a good meal, I saw the girl come out of the building and follow the white cobblestone path to the Dragon Temple.
I saw her set up the offerings, and muttered a prayer in her mouth: "Thank you for the blessing of the dragon god, the little girl is grateful."
Longjing actually blessed other people's wishes, which is really rare.
I don't know what Miss Xiliu is asking for, but seeing that she has a pink face and a slight joy, Mr. Mo arranged a maid.
However, Li Qitang looked at Miss Xiliu fixedly, frowned and said: "I see, this sister seems to have some demonic energy, and it is always a little unusual."
"Demonic spirit?" I frowned, "Miss Xiliu?" She is a poor person, not only is her business light, but even the maid was eaten by Mrs. Du, if she is a monster, she may not make herself so miserable, right? β
Li Qitang said: "I don't know below, although the demonic aura is not heavy, but in a place like Yanyu Pavilion, it is better to be careful." β
"Okay," I nodded, "I'll go and find out if there's anything out of the ordinary in the next few days." β
Send supper at night, but I met the maid Luan'er of the Mandarin Duck girl, the Mandarin Duck girl is a native of the Central Plains, the most fond of pasta, especially the love of Sixi Roasted Wheat, Luan Er often goes to the shop to order a few cages, we are also familiar.
The Mandarin Duck girl lives in the compartment of the Xiliu girl, although the Mandarin Duck girl is very popular, and the house she lives in is a grade higher than that of the Ruixia girl, Luan'er is an understanding person, never bullying others, and is a good talker.
I hurriedly called Luan'er: "Sister Luan'er has been doing well recently, and I haven't come to my house to order roasted wheat recently, is the Mandarin Duck girl tired of eating?" β
Luan'er smiled: "But you haven't been there for a few days, you little girl has actually taken up business, and she will be a shrewd and capable boss lady in the future." β
I smiled embarrassedly: "Look at what Sister Luan'er said, last time my father said it, your sister Luan'er loves to eat crispy fried pine nut candy, and asked me to wait for you to come to the shop next time to avoid people and you have a can, this time I came out, the jar is still on the cupboard, but it's not that Sister Luan'er won't come for a few days, and said that I am peddling business, and I am not wronged." Bian pretended to pout in anger.
Luan'er hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister Mo Qi, Sister Luan'er teases you, you have to thank Uncle Mei for me, these days our girl's benefactor is a businessman by the Yellow River, and he also loves pastry, and he brings a four-color pastry box every day, and the girl can't finish eating and rewards me with some, when this benefactor goes back, I will go over to order the roasted wheat, you can rest assured, our girl only loves the siu mai of your shop, and this guest can not be lost." β
I also laughed: "Then I'll thank Sister Luan'er for taking care of the business for my father!" But Sister Luan'er, so many strange things have happened in Yanyu Pavilion in the past few months, is there anything abnormal in your room? β
Luan Er smiled: "The envoy of the dragon god is the messenger of the dragon god, thank you for your care, we are very good, and there has never been anything wrong." β
I hurriedly asked, "What about the girl next door?" Didn't mention it either? β
